Dennis Lock's masterly exposition of the principles and practice of project management has been pre-eminent in its field for four decades. It was among the very few early books to treat project management holistically, rather than as a collection of separate techniques. It thus explains the entire project management process in great detail, demonstrating techniques ranging from the simplest of charts to sophisticated computer applications. Everything is reinforced throughout with case examples and diagrams.

The book addresses topics such as tourism education and its development in the latter part of the twentieth century, taking "tourism" to be a broader field than "hospitality.".

Farmers have always needed to go out and poison, trap and shoot foxes to keep their numbers down, but now Australian scientists have come up with a more effective and humane solution, by developing a contraceptive vaccine to control pest populations, including foxes, rabbits and mice. Zoologist Michael Archer says harvesting is the only way to ensure that kangaroos survive. It's important to put an economic value on kangaroos and not treat them as pests to be culled. In this way the populations are monitored and managed and protected from demise. Attempting to clone the Tasmanian Tiger, scientists are trying to use DNA from a preserved specimen to bring the thylocene back from extinction.
